Rapunzel

Rapunzel

Once upon a time, there was a lonely witch. She decided to steal a child for company. She named the child Rapunzel.

Rapunzel grew into a beautiful woman. The witch was afraid that Rapunzel would be taken from her. She put Rapunzel inside a tall tower and used heavy stones to block the door.

Each day, the witch stood below Rapunzel's window and called, " Rapunzel! Rapunzel! Let down your hair! " Rapunzel let her long hair fall out the window. Then the witch would climb up and visit her.

One day, a prince was riding nearby and saw Rapunzel in the tower. Her beauty enchanted him. He wanted to meet her, but he could not open the tower door.

Just then, the witch appeared. The prince hid and watched her call to Rapunzel, then climb her hair. When the witch had gone again, he too called, “ Rapunzel! Rapunzel! Let down your hair! " and climbed up.
